Isn't there an important figure in Islam known by Abu hurayra? He was known to always have his cat around him.

Yup

He was known by the kunyah Abu Hurayrah "Father of a Kitten", in reference to his attachment to cats, and he was a member of Suffah. Later during the caliphate era, Abu Hurairah served as an ‘Ālim, governor, soldier, and Hadith auditor.

Actually the name translates to "Father of cats", but Father of kitten is also an acceptable translation

hello friend, i'm Arab and the correct translation is father of the kitten/ little cat. Huraira means little cat, he had a kitten that used to stay in his sleeve and got the nickname

I have a cat that i never gave her a shower for 2 years (she is indoor and it is advised to not give them showers as long as they are indoor and shorthair) and she smells divine, the white of her fur is so white, now imagine a human or dog that hasn't taken a shower for 1 month?

Cat spent half their waking time cleaning themselves
